FREE PACS Server - Open Source

FREE PACS Server – Open Source

Palantir aims at providing a simple, yet powerful DICOM standalone server. Palantir can turn any computer running Windows or Linux into a DICOM store (in other words, a mini-PACS system).

Its architecture is lightweight, meaning that no complex database administration is required, nor the installation of third-party dependencies.

Here’s a couple of great resources on DICOM and PACS  that I found on Amazon.com.  Great tools…

 

 


 

What makes Palantir unique is the fact that it provides a RESTful API. Thanks to this major feature, it is possible to drive Palantir from any computer language.

The DICOM tags of the stored medical images can be downloaded in the JSON file format. Furthermore, standard PNG images can be generated on-the-fly from the DICOM instances by Palantir.

Palantir lets its users focus on the content of the DICOM files, hiding the complexity of the DICOM format and of the DICOM protocol.
